Auditoría de gestión ambiental a los residuos sólidos del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal de Azogues por período 2015

Abstract

This study proposes to broaden Environmental Audits, with a focus on the area of finance, due to deficiencies related to the collection of tax revenues, taking into consideration the lack of funds necessary to cover management costs; which in turn leads to the non-compliance of various projects and current environmental regulations. For the development of the “Environmental Management Audit of Solid Waste for the Autonomous Municipal Government of Azogues - Period 2015,” the Methodological Guide of Environmental Audits, issued by the General Contralory of the State, was used. From this, the “Environmental Management Audit” must be presented to the General Contralory of the State. Currently, the Audit is not expected to receive the INEN-ISO 14001 Certification. The objective of the “Environmental Management Audit” is to verify the results of the Integral Management of Solvent Waste Program. Through the application of current environmental legal aid, as well as the “Environmental Management Plan,” the project will yield indicators regarding Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Economy. The results obtained from the application of the “Environmental Management Audit” will support the continuous improvement of management procedures, in addition to the application of an action plan, whose preventive measures will help improve overall function, and facilitate the achievement of program goals.
